How long does it take to get out?
So, we're in the rat race right now.
I included, I'm in the rat race,
and I'm just wondering how long will it take
to get out, to escape?
Because right now my plan is to work on my podcast
and have that be the foundation to my future business.
And then I'll be able to make money and escape
in that regard and through those means.
And there's this one concept that I learned about
in Rally Transurfing.
And initially, I heard of this,
it's called manifestation.
I heard of this from my sister a long time ago,
probably one year ago, two years ago.
And I did not believe it.
My sister believed it and she said,
Sheila told me about it, I didn't believe it.
And then it wasn't until I read Transurfing
when I actually started to believe it
and then I actually did it.
And I visualized and it came true,
which was Funnel Hacking Live.
And now I'm visualizing something much, much greater,
much more detailed and much further away from my life,
my current lifeline, which it is basically me being free,
living in Hawaii on my own.
And having my own private beach, my own house,
the beach I can surf in those waves,
it's a pretty elaborate visualization.
And I've talked about pretty much the entire thing
in past episode.
And so I've been really locking in on that.
And yesterday, I remember I was biking home
and everything just felt like a dream.
Everything kind of felt strange.
And then today I didn't have that feeling.
So what that tells me is not to get discouraged
because my old way of thinking, my old patterns of thinking
would automatically say, oh, I was so close
and now I just like lost progress.
Like I was actually, like yesterday I was awake
of like a lot during that bike ride.
I was controlling my thoughts very well.
I was just everything was going very well.
And I, in my old school of thought,
I would have just thought that I lost a lot of progress
because today I wasn't really awake that much
and today I was not.
I didn't feel that sense of everything as a dream.
So my old, I would have thought that it was a,
I would have thought that I lost progress in that regard,
but I can already tell that I'm like in this sense,
I can already tell that I am changing my like thought patterns
because instead of thinking that I was losing progress,
I instantly like created this elaborate like story in my head
or explanation in my head as to how I actually am
making progress.
And the explanation is irrelevant.
It doesn't really matter, but I want to tell you,
just keep going.
Like that's one of the biggest lessons
that I've learned over the past year.
Just keep going.
And it was actually confirmed because someone
at Funal Hacking Live, when I went to Funal Hacking Live
a couple of weeks ago, someone actually said,
I asked him, and this is a successful entrepreneur
that I asked, he, I asked him what tip or suggestion
or any words of wisdom do you have for me?
And he said, never stop. And so that,
he was talking about business, but I really believe that
he also meant everything else, like self-improvement,
spirituality, focusing on controlling your thoughts,
never stop any of that stuff.
Never stop getting better, never stop progressing.
And so I, today I actually came to the,
I had an epiphany today.
So I woke up this morning, kind of my alarm woke me up
this morning, which is abnormal because usually I wake up
a few minutes before my alarm, but this morning
my alarm woke me up and so I was already a little bit,
like not very woken up very well.
I was just a little tired, not really tired,
but it, depending on how optimal my sleep was
the night before or what time I wake up naturally,
or whether I naturally or not wake up,
wake up naturally or not, depending on all those factors,
my, the all those factors affect kind of how much control
I have over my thoughts that day,
or how like out of control my thoughts are.
So this morning I woke up and my thoughts were not
controlled at all.
I was, I was basically falling asleep,
not physically falling asleep,
but my consciousness was falling asleep often.
And so I just went through the whole day,
kind of sleeping by, like just,
my consciousness was asleep the whole time basically.
And now I was waking myself up a lot,
but I could tell that I was like not focused much.
And then today the epiphany that I came by is that
as long as I just keep going,
like I had a cool experience during my meditation
the other day and I keep on having an expectation
that I'm gonna have another cool experience
or I'm gonna get better and better.
But I, those are only holding me back, those expectations.
And I just gotta keep going, keep moving forward
and just have patience.
And actually there's one thing.
I'm having a lot of patience with my slide
because I know that I've been doing it
for quite some time now, this visualization.
Maybe like a month or two, I don't know.
And what I found, what I discovered is,
well actually no, what I realized is that
I was patient for this entire month.
Like let's just say for explanation sake, argument sake,
I have been doing my slide for one month.
So this whole time I've been very actively running my slide
every single day and for many minutes,
probably even an hour every day.
So I've been extremely patient for this whole month.
And since the world is a mirror and you send your image,
you actively create your reality using your thoughts,
but the mirror has a delay.
So you basically have to hold your thoughts up
for a little bit of time and then it'll start materializing.
And so this whole first month, I'd been patient.
And honestly, the beginning is the hardest
because you have to be patient and just keep doing it
even though you're not seeing any results.
So I've been doing it for the whole first month,
very patient and what I realized,
I wasn't seeing any results yet I was still doing it.
And then the moment I see results,
my mind had a tendency to think that I was losing progress,
but then I reminded myself that that's like the first results.
Like that is exactly what my mind had the tendency
to get demotivated even though that is insane.
Like I got results, my first glance of results.
And those results were in two forms.
Like the other day I was, I had that meditation,
even though it was just a brief moment,
that's still considered results.
Yesterday when I was biking,
I was like extremely conscious that is results.
And the biggest result of them all was yesterday
after I finished recording the podcast.
So let me give some context real quick.
I have been podcasting for like three months now maybe.
It's been, I'm on episode 93 right now.
I believe it's 93 and pretty much the whole time,
like the first month I had four people listening,
the second month like five people listening,
and then the third month, or no,
the second month was like seven people were listening.
So I had seven people listening to every single episode.
And then going into month three, October, like right now,
I was at seven and then I dropped down to six,
and then I dropped down to five.
And pretty much my daily downloads leading up to this point
was maybe like six, five to seven,
five to seven downloads every day,
usually around seven downloads,
six or seven downloads every day. But then last night,
I checked my analytics after I was done editing
all of the episode from yesterday.
And I was just expecting to see like seven downloads,
like my normal, I was kind of hoping to see that I was,
since I dropped subscribers,
like two people stopped listening,
I was hoping to see that I got like a subscriber back.
But what I saw was actually crazy.
I saw my daily downloads, which is normally like seven,
I had 57 daily downloads.
When I saw that number, I instantly like my stomach dropped.
I was like, oh my goodness, like that was insane.
I was like scared, not even, I wasn't scared,
but I was like amazed.
I was in shock.
And so I was like really excited about that.
And then I went to bed and today I was really excited
to see how many of those 57,
like I was excited to see if I'd have like 57 downloads
again today.
And so I was gonna wait until after the episode
to check it, but I couldn't help myself.
And I checked it before this episode
and guess how many downloads I had?
Six, six downloads.
So that, I would have the tendency to be,
like demotivated after that before.
And honestly, I was a little demotivated
that I saw it six today.
But that's the same as what I had two days ago.
Six, I've always had six, six downloads every day.
And I had my first sign that first sign of success yesterday,
57 downloads in one day, the most I've ever had.
The most I've ever had before that was like eight, maybe.
So that is like the third sign of success that I've had.
And so once you start seeing those signs of success,
you have to keep going.
Like that is the motivation.
So now I'm back like to six downloads.
So I don't think any of those people
that listened yesterday, maybe it was just one person
that listened like 60 times.
And by the way, I'm recording this episode
when episode 86 just went live.
So this episode's being recorded on the 18th of October,
2023.
So everything, like you guys are listening a week behind.
So by the time this episode releases,
who knows, maybe I'll be back up to 50 downloads a day.
Maybe I'll be up, I mean, not back up.
Maybe I will get 50 downloads a day again,
or maybe not, I don't know.
And so I like saw that
and I was like thinking about that all night.
I was so excited to like go into bed.
I kind of, it took me a little while to get to bed.
I had to like stop myself from feeling excitement.
So I was like, I'm gonna go back to bed.
Myself from feeling excitement, so I could go to bed.
And then I was thinking about it more
and there's one thing.
When I first started, like when I first decided
to start this podcast, it was cause I read in a book,
Expert Secrets, Russell Brunson said,
if you post daily on your show for an entire year,
you will find your voice as well
as you will never have to worry about money again.
So I didn't really care about the finding your voice
and I just cared about never having to worry
about money again.
And it seemed easy enough to post daily,
so I just decided to do it.
And I have not experienced any monetary gain
out of this podcast, yet I don't need to,
or I obviously I want the monetary value,
but the most valuable piece of it
was me finding my voice so far.
And yes, I will be finding my voice more and more
throughout like in the upcoming months
as I keep posting daily.
But like just 93 episodes in,
and I already have gotten like the most valuable
impact on my growth.
Just finding my voice and actually being able
to speak more fluidly and effectively.
So the podcast, I'm 93 episodes in,
and I remember my first milestone was when I got like episode 10.
When I recorded episode 10, that was awesome
because that was my first double digits.
And then the second milestone was episode 21,
which once I hit episode 21, that was an awesome moment
because I had heard a statistic that said,
once you reach episode 21, you are now in the top 1%
of all podcasts in the world.
Because 99% of podcasters stop posting
before they reach 21 episodes.
So I'm considered top 1% now, once I reached episode 21.
And then the next kind of milestone that I got
was episode 50, which it wasn't really that big
of a milestone because I didn't really care too much to it.
I was kind of in the grind at that time.
And then I kind of forgot about like milestones.
And then at Funnel Hacking Live, the same person
that said, never stop.
He also told me about his podcast.
He had recorded 100 episodes on his podcast.
And then he stopped for like a long time
and he hasn't recorded since, but he got to 100 episodes.
And as a result, his podcast was like fairly popular
once he got to 100 episodes.
And so once I heard that and he said that,
he told me about a quote, Seth Rogen
that I've actually heard before.
Seth Rogen goes on any podcast,
he'll be the guest on any podcast under one condition.
That show has reached 100 episodes at least.
And that shows that they're committed in the long term
and they're in it for like the long game
and they're actually serious.
And so all of those dots connected
and I found my next milestone, episode 100
because I kind of correlated episode 100 with success.
Like once I reach episode 100, I'll start to see some success.
And I'd reached my, I have like achieved my first,
or seen my first spark of hope yesterday
when I checked those analytics, 57,
which to be honest, 57 downloads in one day
is not that much in the grand scheme of things,
but it said that I had like a 400% increase
from the day before.
So that's a lot, like that 400% in growth is a lot.
57 in the grand scheme of things is not that much,
but in comparison to seven is a lot.
And so that was my first kind of spark of like success
or shine or whatever.
So now my like ever since I got home from Funalaki Live,
my new goal or my next milestone was 100 episodes.
And I am actually one week away
because once I'm done recording this episode
in one week from today, so next Wednesday,
I'll be on episode, or I'll have recorded 100 episodes,
which means that I'll have achieved the milestone
in real time, but it won't be in two weeks
when I actually achieve it
because I record seven episodes ahead of schedule.
So it doesn't post until the next week.
So those are my milestones right now.
Once I get to episode 100,
then I'll see what is going on.
Like that's kind of my milestone to push forward.
And obviously I'm gonna keep recording for like every day.
I'm gonna go past episode 100,
but that's kind of like my next milestone.
I'm not gonna worry about analytics too much.
I'm still gonna check my analytics,
but I'm not gonna worry about the fact
that I'm not getting 50 downloads again
because I already went through this,
but just keep pushing forward.
That's the biggest piece of advice that I can give.
And I wanna give an overview of my life.
So when I was a kid, I, in middle school,
I always wanted hot lunch.
That was the lunch that my school served.
So I wanted hot lunch, but my mom always said
that I had to pay for it with my own money if I wanted it.
And I never wanted to do that,
but my mom did say that I could just pack my lunch
and she would like go to the store
and buy food for me to pack.
So I kind of had the entrepreneurial mindset.
I didn't know about entrepreneurship back in the day,
but I had the business mindset where I was like,
oh, this is an issue that I have.
My mom can buy stuff for me at school
or to bring to school.
So what I did was I asked my friends
and I noticed that a lot of my friends like eating chips,
like Lay's, Fritos, Doritos, all that stuff.
So I started getting my mom to buy a whole box
like a big box of party sized chips
or not party sized, but snack sized chip bags.
It was just a whole box of just chips at Costco.
And so my mom would buy that
and I would just bring like three bags of chips to school
every day.
And I would trade like one chip for a hot lunch
and then depending on if that person was a regular customer,
I would make a deal where they would do,
they would give it to me every single day
and I would do two chips every day.
So I'd give them two chips every day
for hot lunch guaranteed.
But for normal people that were not regulars,
I would say like one chip for a hot lunch.
And people took it like a lot of the days
I wouldn't just get one hot lunch.
I would go to my table with like three hot lunches
and I would just eat them all.
Like, and that was like, that was life.
I'm not even gonna lie.
And then I like expanded to like apple sauce pouches.
There was these like plastic apple sauce pouches
and I traded those and like life was great.
And then I kind of, and then I didn't do that anymore
because I went to high school and then COVID happened,
the lockdown happened.
And then I just started packing my own lunch
at like four in high school.
So I stopped doing that.
But honestly, I had a reason why I was gonna tell you
all this story.
Oh yeah, okay.
That's like context.
And then, so during high school,
I've talked about this story as well.
I have always played soccer all my life.
And then I wanted to play on the high school team.
So I tried out first one year and I got cut.
I got cut.
So I didn't make it.
And then I was like, oh, I actually have to train for this
because people are way better than me
and everyone else practices.
That was, that's what I thought everyone else practiced.
And then, so I started training.
I didn't start training soccer.
I started like just training, running and like cardio.
And then sophomore year, I tried out again, got cut.
So then I was like, oh, I'm not strong enough.
So I have to start lifting.
So I was lifting and then I was training cardio.
And then I also realized that I needed to improve
my soccer skills because I sucked at soccer.
But I was like, good shape, but I didn't have like the skills.
And so I started practicing the skills.
And then going into junior year,
I got injured right before trouts
because I was doing so much that summer.
And even like the months leading up to that summer,
literally like more than eight months
leading up to those tryouts.
I was like going to the gym every morning,
first thing in the morning.
And then I'd like come home, eat,
go to the park with soccer and train that.
And then I'd like literally be at the park
for hours every day, training cardio and my soccer skills.
And then I would come home, take an ice bath every day.
I'd always take like cold showers as well.
Like I was serious.
I was locked into training and then I got injured.
It was not even that bad of an injury,
but at the time I thought it was really bad.
Like I couldn't walk, I couldn't bend my leg.
So it was bad, but it was like,
I could have healed in like literally a week or two weeks.
And I did heal in two weeks, but I decided not to try it.
Because I was in like a very low emotion
or a very emotional state where like,
I knew that I thought that everything was over.
So I just didn't even bother to try out
because I couldn't even walk.
And honestly, that was probably the best decision
I've ever made, even though I regretted it for like a year.
Not a year.
I regretted it for a few months
because I knew that I could have made the team.
Even though I was injured,
I could have just talked to the coach
and I would have made the team.
But the reason why it was probably the best decision
I've ever made was because during junior year
is when I started getting into like serious self-improvement.
That's when I started reading books.
That's when I considered my start of self-improvement
at the beginning of junior year.
So at this time I was lifting every day
and I kind of started slowly fade out soccer.
Like I was still practicing soccer
up until like that winter break.
Like I remember winter break in junior year,
I like literally was locked in.
I was at home from school for like three weeks.
So literally what I did was wake up, go to the gym
and then after the gym, I would practice soccer in the gym.
And I would like practice my juggling, all that stuff.
And then I come home and read for the rest of the day.
That was what I did.
Even on Christmas day, I remember going to the gym
at like six in the morning on Christmas day.
And that was like awesome times.
So then I was reading starting junior year
and then right now I've been reading
for a little over a year.
I'm in senior year.
And then the summer going into junior year
is when I decided that I was like this whole time
I was like, while I was reading,
I was really focused on health
and a lot of that stuff, improving my health.
And then summer going into junior year,
I realized that I got to the point where like,
in order to improve my health more,
because I was looking into like estrogenics
and like cutting out all of the bad chemicals in my life,
I realized that in order to improve my health more,
I actually needed money and I didn't have any money.
And there was only so much stuff
that my parents were willing to like pay for,
which is understandable because I was asking for a lot of stuff.
So I realized that I needed money to improve my health.
So then I kind of thought that I needed
to start making money.
So I was like, okay, I've always really had the idea
that I was going to get into entrepreneurship,
but I was never really serious about it.
I was never really like dedicated about it.
I never really learned about it.
And I was like going in that summer,
I decided to lock in on business.
So I started reading books about it.
And then I remember one of the ways that I locked in
on business was literally buying like 10 books on business
and having them shipped to my house all on like the same day.
And I probably only read like two of those books,
maybe one or two of those books.
Like they're just sitting in my closet, not doing anything.
And that was like how I decided to lock in,
even though I was already locked in there.
I was just being a dumb, I was just being dumb.
So I started reading all the business books.
And then I read expert secrets, started doing the podcast.
And I realized that I didn't really,
I was working on like funnels and stuff,
trying to learn how to build websites.
And I didn't really see that that was my path.
But now I'm starting to see how it was all connected
because it's good.
Like I was excited learning about funnels
until a certain point.
Once I developed an understanding of how like the software
worked and all that stuff,
then I kind of got bored of building funnels.
And then I started locking in on the podcast.
But now I'm starting to see how it all comes together
because I'm seeing people using click funnels
all over the place.
And I'm seeing like all of these business concepts
in like my day to day experience,
looking at other YouTubers.
And I'm seeing how other YouTubers
are like actually doing business
on like their platforms, for example, Hamza,
in his bio on YouTube,
is there's a link that leads to a click funnels page.
And it's like just a lead magnet of a dating thing,
like a dating, how to get better at dating
or something like that.
And I could tell that it's on click funnels.
I could just tell that it was on click funnels,
but the way I knew it was on click funnels
was because on the icon of the website
was still the click funnels icon.
So that is,
other people are doing that.
And that's what I'm realizing that.
That's why it's all connected
because I was working on business,
just studying business like for a few months in summer.
And then I started recording my podcast
and then I kind of shifted.
I'd stopped learning about business like altogether.
I haven't read a business book in a few months.
I shifted all my attention to worldview.
And so that's all the books that I've been reading so far.
Reality Transurfing.
And then I actually was,
I did read two more business books,
10X is easier than 2X as well as Create Don't Capture,
but those were pretty quick reads and I didn't,
that was just because I just got out of Funnel Acu Live.
It's the whole thing, but pretty much,
I completely shifted my focus from learning about business
to just self-improvement again.
Like I'm only working on self-improvement now,
working on my spirituality,
and I'm working on concentration, my core three.
Like I've talked about my core three before.
It's the three things that I'm focusing on right now.
The only three things that are really important
in my life right now is my spirituality,
which I'm doing with meditation
as well as learning about it in books.
My worldview, which I'm doing in books,
and then my documentation,
which I'm documenting through creating content,
like the podcast as well as TikTok and Shorts.
And so talking about Shorts or TikToks,
I've been posting three times a day on TikToks and Shorts
for the past few weeks.
And a few people have commented on my posts.
And this one person in particular that I read today,
which is another thing that I shouldn't be doing,
checking my TikTok stats or analytics before recording.
But I needed inspiration because I sat down again today,
like not knowing what to talk about.
So I just decided to look at my TikTok comments
and see if you guys are saying things that I can speak on.
And this one lady commented on my post and said,
it was a post about how when you control your thoughts,
you control your reality,
and you can actually create the life that you want.
And this person commented and said,
well, how come you're still in this?
Like the person said a bad word,
but how come you're still in this place,
this terrible place?
The first, if I could control my reality,
then the first thing I would do is leave this place
and go somewhere that is still divine in nature.
And that's a very valid comment.
Why am I still here?
Why am I still in this chair?
Or why am I still like, ask a little,
why am I still in this like matrix of a society?
And I've been like going back and forth
with this question many times.
On one side, I'm thinking like I could just leave.
I could just get up and leave and go on my own adventure.
I could, like we live in a society
where food is taken care of.
Yeah, I saw it to pay for it,
but I could figure things out,
like the world would take care of me.
But then on the other side, I'm trying to build this life.
So I'm trying to build like the foundation.
I'm trying to focus on business
so I can have a foundation to my entire life.
I want my business to fuel my entire life
so I don't have to worry about it.
I want to fuel my entire life so I don't have to worry
about money at all for the rest of my life.
But then on that side, I'm also like questioning,
am I just saying that?
Because I'm too scared to actually make the leap.
So it's kind of like a back and forth in that context.
But then, so I could simply just radically shift
my scenery right now.
I could, like anyone could.
You have the right to choose.
But there's one point that the person is missing.
So let's go with the second situation,
second scenario where I'm trying to develop,
I'm trying to build my life
and create my business to fuel my entire life.
Let's just go with that scenario for argument's sake.
The one point that the person is missing
is that materialization is inert like tar.
The world is a mirror, but it has a delay.
And what that means is that when you control your thoughts,
you control reality, but it won't happen instantly.
You have to, like I said earlier,
you have to hold that image in your head
for quite some time for it to actually manifest
into reality, for it to actually become physical
and actually become your world.
And so that is the very key factor in this.
It takes time and it takes patience.
You have to just keep building.
And the thing is, it's a double-sided blade.
When you start to control your thoughts,
you're gonna be bad at it in the beginning,
but then you'll get better and better and better.
And eventually you'll get like,
it's like exponential growth.
Over time, you'll just get better and better
at controlling your thoughts.
So that's one side of the blade.
So then over time, you'll get more and more powerful
at controlling your reality.
But then the other side is,
as you're starting to control reality,
you're actually like sending those thoughts out.
So you're sending thoughts out.
Yeah, they're probably weak in the beginning
because you don't have very powerful energy
as well as your thoughts are not very controlled.
And so they're not concentrated as much.
So then over time, you'll get more and more like sway
on or more and more control over reality.
And so that is like the big thing here.
I'm trying to set myself up for my entire life.
I'm trying to build my entire foundation.
Like I'm trying to build the foundation to my entire life.
Like I said, I believe that worldview
and now I'm starting to think spirituality.
And I don't know how spirituality or worldview is very,
I'm not sure how it's connected,
but I have a sense that it is connected.
I'm just learning about them.
I don't really know much about spirituality yet.
And so I'm starting to believe that,
or I know that worldview is like the foundation to your life.
So that's why I'm building,
I'm focusing all in on my worldview right now
in spirituality.
And, but like to be honest, that is just one thing.
That's just building my like character,
just building up my own person.
But I still have to like make an impact on the world.
And I still have to actually have a business
or actually have like an income source.
And so that's why the third core piece to my core three
is documentation because that is like me starting
to build my business.
Like the documentation, the podcast, the TikToks
are the foundation to my business.
Whereas my worldview and spirituality
is the foundation to my life.
And then as a result of my business
is the foundation to my life.
So all these three core threes are the foundation
to my life, but the business side
is kind of like the material side.
And then the worldview and spirituality are the like,
non-material side of things.
So I kind of have this, I'm starting to develop more
and more in all three.
And I'm just trying to show like one of the big goals
of this podcast, even from the beginning
was to show you guys that it's possible to escape,
to actually live free.
It's possible to become free.
Like the whole point of this podcast is me documenting
my journey from being in this society
and documenting all of my growth
and everything that I'm doing along the way.
Which by the way, the only thing on the material side
of things, the only thing on the business side of things
that I've done so far up to this point is podcasting.
And then just recently I started doing TikToks and shorts,
three of them every day.
So literally all I've been doing is podcasting
on the business side of things.
And that's like the whole purpose of this,
like that's the biggest purpose of this podcast
to prove that anyone can make it out of the rat race.
Anyone, doesn't matter who you are.
Anyone can actually become free.
You just have to actually do it.
You actually have to do it.
And so this is why I think it's so powerful
that I'm like showing all my progress
because I am so much further ahead of where I was 90 days ago
when I started this.
90 days ago when I started this was a completely different me.
And so there's two journeys that I'm going on.
I learned about this concept in expert secrets.
There's the journey of, I think it's called the journey,
like the destination, which is basically,
my destination would be like freedom
or my destination would be financial freedom.
That's kind of like the purpose of,
like that's the greedy purpose or the selfish purpose
that I have for myself for this podcast.
That's the journey of destination.
Like that's my journey that I'm going towards.
And then, but there's a,
like that's kind of what I'm documenting for the podcast.
But then there's a second more hidden journey,
which is the journey of transformation,
which is actually what people want to see.
Like that's actually what makes people feel good
about this story or that's what makes people attached
to the movies and all of that stuff.
And the journey of transformation is the evolution
that occurs, like the improvement that occurs on,
like for that person on their journey towards the,
their goal.
And so it's just been 90 days
and I haven't reached my destination yet.
The most powerful thing of all
is my journey of transformation.
These past 90 days, I've been like changing as a person.
I've been evolving and improving so much radically.
And now I'm like starting to transform.
And then once I, like in the next 90 days,
once I reach like episode 180,
then I'll definitely be radically different
to where I am now.
So it's like this, it's a whole process.
And that like, that's the thing.
Like yes, I'm chasing this like destination,
which by the way, there is no real destination,
but I'm chasing this like vague thing of freedom.
And then along the way,
you guys are seeing the transformation.
And so when you guys actually do this for yourself,
like when you make the decision to do this for yourself
and make the decision that,
oh yeah, I actually want to be financially free.
Like this is something I want.
I want to actually escape from,
I want to actually live my life.
I want to destroy my worldview.
I want to learn the truth.
I want to see all of it.
Like I want to not be confined in this box
that society has placed us in.
It's actually a shame because more and more
I'm coming aware of it.
That my whole life has been literally,
I've been placed in this box.
Like it's just, I've been hidden like,
true reality, like real life has been hidden for me
all my life by society.
And so when you guys make the decision,
yeah, you're going towards the destination,
you're going towards the goal.
But the transformation is what really is happening
on the daily basis.
And this is another thing.
What got you here won't get you there.
So what got me here to episode 90
will not get me to episode 180.
Yeah, I could do the same thing to get to 180,
but I won't see this, I won't see growth.
I could just go through the monotony of daily life
and just get to episode 180,
but I won't see any growth on my show.
If I really want to like get results out of this
and get results off of my show,
then I have to keep changing and evolving as a person.
That's why I'm really locking in on the other two core
threes, because if I simply just focus on my core,
my one core of documentation,
I probably won't get very far.
But that's why I'm focusing on the other two cores,
because when I, those are the two things
that are actually gonna radically shift me as a human.
My worldview is so much different,
and it's starting to actually be shaped
to how I want it to be from where it was
when I first started podcasting.
My knowledge is not as good.
My like attention, my control over my thoughts,
my control over my attention is way better
than it was before.
Like every single aspect of myself, my balance also,
like everything is better than it was when I started.
And so that's why I have three core things.
Meditation to control my thoughts more, control,
like and actually learn about this new thing
that I'm learning about the gateway experience,
which helps you reach deep levels of meditation,
deep levels of consciousness.
It actually helps you like start to uncover
the reality of like the nature of reality itself,
the fabric of reality, nature of the fabric of reality
or whatever helps you start to learn more about yourself
and the nature of like the human soul and all that.
And then the other one is the worldview,
which I've been doing ever since I started,
like before I started podcasting,
but especially once I started podcasting,
I started getting locked in on worldview.
And that is like the biggest thing that needs to change
in me, like my worldview that got me here
will not get me to become a millionaire.
Early on in this podcast,
I declared that I was gonna be a millionaire.
I think it was episode seven.
That was like the first,
I think that was like the first time I publicly declared.
That was gonna be a millionaire.
And I haven't really talked about it much since then,
I don't think, but that's where I'm headed.
And well, actually, yeah, I have talked about it,
but where was I going with this?
It was gonna be a millionaire and then, oh yeah.
So the worldview that I had when I declared that,
I'm gonna be honest, I didn't really know.
Now I know way more.
I still have like a sliver of doubt,
but I have like, my worldview has been absolutely purged,
like completely.
And it's still like, I still have a lot of work to do,
but my worldview is radically different
from where it was when I first started.
And so now I'm like more and more realizing
that this is actually possible.
And it's like, that's why I'm really lacking in a worldview
because worldview is gonna allow me to uncover way more.
Like I have been talking about in the past few episodes,
one of the biggest things that is holding us back,
or the only thing that's holding us back is ourself.
But it's not entirely our fault
because society has basically
manipulated or shaped and molded your mind,
your worldview, your thoughts in such a way
to where you actually,
it actually gets you to hold yourself back.
And so, yes, you hold yourself,
you're the only one holding yourself back,
but it's because society has placed those thoughts
into your mind.
And so, what I realized is that I'm holding myself back,
I'm holding myself back,
that's why I'm going on worldview.
That's why I need to completely change all of this stuff
because I'm still holding myself back to this day.
Let me get some water.
It's a lot of learning that I must occur.
Like I was saying, worldview,
you're the only one holding yourself back,
but society has placed that into you.
But you had the ability to take that out.
But it's a long process, I'm gonna be honest.
I've been doing it a few months
and I've still got a long way to go.
I feel like it may be a lifelong thing.
But one of the biggest,
like probably I haven't learned much about it,
but just from what I've seen so far,
this may in fact be the biggest thing holding us back.
And it's the fear of death.
That's one of the things that society has placed
into our minds, it's deeply ingrained
in our consciousness.
The fear of death.
The Stoics, they did not fear death.
My friend was telling me about one of the Stoics
that he read about, I forgot his name.
And he heard, like read some quotes about him
and basically the Stoic did not fear death
because when you fear death, you're not really living.
So that is something that I'm really gonna start
getting into over the next couple of weeks,
the fear of death and just death in general
because if that's one of the biggest things
that I'm holding myself back with,
well then it would make sense
to just destroy it out of my mind.
I hadn't even thought about the fear of death
until just recently, I wasn't even aware
that that was a limiting belief in my mind
until just recently.
And so that makes me think what else is there in my mind
that I'm not even aware of that's holding me back?
What else is there?
So it's one, one, it's a process of actually
like getting rid of the limiting beliefs
but in order to get rid of it, you have to actually be aware
and you have to actually know
that it is a limiting belief and what it is.
Like I didn't even know that the fear of death
was a limiting belief until recently.
And now I need to know like what it is.
I need to learn more about it
because yeah, I could like start trying to do the inner work
and purging myself of the fear of death
but it's like, I don't know how to go about that.
So I have to learn more about it
in order to actually start doing the inner work on it.
And so that's why I'm gonna be reading Die Wise next.
I have maybe a hundred pages left of Dancing After The Music
stops, which sounds like a lot
but it'll probably just be like two days of reading
because in two days, because there's a lot of pictures
and it's a pretty quick read
because there's, it's pretty big words
and it's a lot of spaces.
And like there's a lot of empty pages
or pages with just like a few words on it.
But the fear of death is one of the biggest things
that I need to work on.
It's an absolutely, it's a long journey
and that's like, that's why I'm very happy
with my decision to start podcasting
because there's so many things that I am documenting
that would be so valuable to learn about
when I first started.
Like I said, you have to first learn
about these limiting beliefs
before you can actually get rid of them.
Yeah, the getting rid of them is a long process
but learning about them could be a long process as well
if you don't even know where to start.
Like I spent a whole year before I even started
learning about worldview.
Well, actually I spent like six months reading books
before I even learned about Transurfing.
And then once I learned about Transurfing,
then the game changed for me
and I started actually doing some worldview stuff
and started learning about all that.
It's probably like eight months maybe.
It doesn't even matter though.
But this podcast is definitely gonna be evolving soon.
And I want to appreciate you guys
for listening to these early episodes
because one of the things that helped me start
in the beginning recording was,
one of the things that I heard was
you're gonna suck in the beginning, like that's a given.
You're gonna suck at podcasting.
But the great thing is no one's gonna be listening to you.
Like no one is gonna hear your beginning episodes
because you're gonna suck.
So no one's even gonna hear any of your episodes
or even listen to you for quite some time.
So that's good because it gives you time
to start hearing, to like discovering your voice
and finding your voice.
And then all of, like it gives you time
to get better and better.
And then by the time you're actually good,
then people will actually start listening.
Which I feel as though I've started to get good,
but it's also like, yeah, maybe I'm not that good yet.
But it's also like I want to start seeing results.
Like I'm not afraid of people hearing my show anymore.
I'm not afraid of, like I'm not nervous
or embarrassed about my podcast anymore.
And so I'm starting to like want to see results
and it's, I'm very glad that I have people listening.
Even like people, like I've had like at least four subscribers
pretty much the entire time I was recording.
And recently it's been like five, six, seven.
So people are actually listening to my episodes,
which is very inspiring.
I don't really think about it enough.
I just always assume that no one's listening,
but they're like, you guys are actually listening.
Like there is six people that listened today,
just before I started recording.
Six people have already listened to my episodes.
So I want to appreciate you guys for listening.
And one last concept I want to talk about
is about my sudden surge of growth.
Which to me, it's a big surge of growth,
but in the grammar scheme of things,
it's not very big of a surge of growth.
Because 57 downloads is not that much considering
like where I want to be at like hundreds of thousands
or even millions of downloads a day.
But the surge of growth reminded me.
So right away when I saw that yesterday,
after like after I went upstairs
and I started thinking about it,
I thought, okay, there's two options.
There's one option.
All of these people are gonna listen for now on.
So now I'm gonna start having 50 subscribers
and 50 listeners for now on.
Or the second option is it's gonna be
like the Transurfing principle.
One of the stories that I learned about in Transurfing
was the stories of the Beatles, the band, the Beatles.
And there was another band as well.
I forgot their name, but pretty much
he, Vadim Zon told these stories
to portray this one principle.
And it's the principle of like fame.
And it's how the pendulum works
in regards to you gaining fame and popularity.
Which are you gaining like people
that are actually listening to you.
And so essentially the Beatles had a very long time
where they were not listened to.
Yes, they were very good.
Like in the beginning stages, I'm pretty sure.
If I remember the story correctly,
they were as good as they were
like when they were not listened to.
Like their songs were the same when they were not listened to.
And when they were like the most famous in the world.
Like their songs were the same.
The only difference was people were actually listening.
And so it took them like years to even get
a little bit of a fan base.
So after a few years, they developed like a small fan base.
And then they had one hit song.
And everyone thought that it was just a one time thing.
And no one, like the song like was a hit.
And then everyone was like, oh, it's just a one time thing.
And it was, they instantly like went back down
to their kind of baseline of what they were before.
Maybe they went up a little bit,
but pretty much they're still like not very popular,
but they had one hit.
And then they suck through.
And then they like the wave,
like their one hit was kind of like the first wave
come crashing in.
And then it kind of like draw back.
That's what Adam Zellin said.
The wave kind of draw back,
went back and gained more force and power.
And then it hit them again.
And then this time it was like for real
and they were a world sensation and they gained fame.
So it was first wave come in
and then it kind of drew back and then they got hit with it.
And so yes, I'm not to that scale.
Like I have a small follower base.
So I've been doing this for 90 days.
So so far, all of the principles are the same in my story
as they are for the Beatles.
I've been doing this for 90 days quite some time.
I've developed a small follower base,
like four to seven people listening.
Obviously it's not to the same scale.
Like I have, it's much smaller scale
and much smaller timeframe as well.
And then I had my first surge of growth,
which was in fact a one time thing
as proved today when I just saw this, the analytics.
And so it like the wave is kind of pulling back now.
And so my prediction is that soon I'll have another surge
but this time it'll be like for real.
And it may not be like to the extent that the Beatles were,
but it'll be a noticeable surge.
And I'll start to actually see some success
with this podcast.
So that's another thing to give hope and give some more
inspiration for me to move forward.
But that's pretty much it for today's episode.
